The Healing Space The Healing Space practices Somatic Experiencing as the primary approach to processing trauma manife

The Healing Space has been envisioned to be a sacred oasis where the journey to healing is in service to the soul. Where the interface between science and spirituality is equitably regarded and respected as part of the healing process. The focus is on Somatic Experiencing - a healing modality focusing on bodily sensations, in resolving traumatic experiences.

Empathy is a deeply human characteristic. It is not something have to learn per se, but something that is innate when we are experiencing a healthy nervous system. Connection, empathy, curiosity and wellness all emerge when the body is attuned to the portion of our nervous system that allows us to thrive - the Ventral Vagal Branch. When we are chronically out of balance with this state, we lose some (sometimes all) access to the characteristics mentioned above.

Emotional safety isn't something you feel immediately. It's something you build gradually through hundreds of small moments of trust.

It's feeling secure enough to express yourself authentically without fear of judgment or rejection.

It's practicing active listening instead of waiting to respond. Actually hearing your partner instead of planning your defense.

It's demonstrating warmth and concern toward each other's emotions. Making space for feelings even when you don't fully understand them.

It's creating a new process for conflict that doesn't involve yelling, shutting down, or walking away. Building a system where both people can be heard.

It's respecting boundaries and consent as non-negotiables. No means no. Always.

Emotional safety doesn't happen because someone promises it. It happens because they consistently show up and prove it.

What does emotional safety mean to you?

Our Story

Trauma is a person’s subjective experience of extreme stress. Stress may come from various forms ranging from natural to man made disaster. It can be a single occurrence or repeated. It is multi-faceted. Any discussion on sources of extreme stress resulting in trauma can be made at length, but there is one sure fact for a trauma survivor, extreme subjective stress overwhelms a person’s capability to cope, leaving the trauma survivor feeling helpless.

Not all trauma survivors are left with debilitating psychological incapacitation. Most are able to move on and lead gainful lives. For some, trauma could leave them with a trail of psychological problems, such as depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, even psychosis. The possible psychological permutation is endless, as each one of us of is different from the next person. This, however, should not be cause for a sense of inferiority as we process traumatic experiences differently. Some are able to process the trauma by themselves, while others need help. There’s no shame in asking for help.

As somebody who has been helping persons with trauma, I subscribe to Carl Gustav Jung’s supposition, “People start to heal the moment they felt heard.” With the help of Somatic Experiencing, one can find a space within oneself not activated by trauma, or a physical place to retreat to in one’s mind. By allowing one’s body to experience the sensations related to the traumatic event in a safe way, one is able to process the trauma.

Trauma processing is a lot of work. It is mostly painful. It could even take years to process traumatic experiences. The Healing Space does not promise to magically vanish the psychological pain of trauma - pain that stops one from fully experiencing the beauty of life, but will be wholeheartedly committed in being with the trauma survivor throughout the processing of the painful experience.
